BREAKING: In a landmark ruling, the Personal Data Protection Office (PDPO) has found that Meta Platforms Inc. and WhatsApp LLC are subject to Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 — despite having no physical presence in the country.

Arising from a complaint filed by Kampala-based @AdLegalug the decision establishes a powerful precedent: if you process the personal data of Ugandan citizens, you fall under Ugandan law.
